Sauna Tips, Recommendations & Requirements:

Session times are 20 or 40 minutes. The sauna comes with a built-in stereo, so you can listen to the radio, CD’s, or plug your MP3 player right into it. Feel free to read a book or magazine, or just sit back and relax. Our sauna also features chromotherapy, or color therapy, which is defined as a system of alternative medicine in which colors and their energy frequencies are used to correct psychological or physical imbalances. A more general definition simply states that chromotherapy is based on the premise that certain colors are infused with healing energies. Choose a color that helps you relax and unwind.

Make sure you are adequately hydrated before, during and after your session. We have a water filtration system outside the sauna room for your convenience.

What should I wear?

The sauna is located in a private room in our office, and sessions are scheduled to allow each guest time to dry off and change after their session. We suggest wearing loose clothes to your sauna session, or at least bringing a change of them to wear afterwards. Some guests choose to wear a towel, a bathing suit, or their undergarments in the sauna. We provide towels to place on the bench seat, backrest and the floor to absorb perspiration and maintain cleanliness of the sauna.

Please remove perfumes, makeup, deodorant, dirt, oils and lotions on your body before entering the sauna. These products can block your pores and limit perspiration, decreasing the effectiveness of your sauna session. Baby wipes are available to use prior to your session to remove all makeup and mascara.

How hot is it?

The temperature of the sauna reaches 140 degrees, but there is a control on the inside for guests to decrease the temperature if necessary. Unlike traditional (hot rock or steam) saunas—which operate at well in excess of 200°F—infrared heat has the benefit of being effective at a more comfortable operating temperature, which is why it’s less likely to interfere with breathing and more likely to be manageable. The experience is similar to lying in the sun on a warm day and feeling the heat radiate to the core of your body. If at any time you feel lightheaded, open the door or vent to quickly cool down.

How often should I use the sauna?

One session will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. But similar to exercise, the more you do it, the better the results. Recommended use is 3-4 times per week.

When will I start sweating?

Sweat levels differentiate between each individual. Don't be surprised if you don't sweat during the first few sessions. Sweating will increase with regular use. Even if your body is not drenched in sweat, your body is still detoxifying from harmful toxins. Also, be sure to drink plenty of water before your session. If you are dehydrated, you will not sweat as much.

Are children allowed to use the sauna?

The core body temperature of children rises much faster than adults. When taking a sauna session, with a child, operate at a lower temperature and for no more than 15 minutes at a time. A general rule of thumb is 1 minute inside your sauna per year of age for the child, but always accompanied by an adult. And remember to keep you and your children hydrated, even if you don’t see them sweating.
